A new patch for Fallout 4 is out this week, less than a week after being released via Steam Beta, and the fix-focused patch featured a surprising new addition for anyone lamenting the fact that Codsworth won’t vocally refer to their character by name.
More than 300 names have been added to the list of Codsworth-recognized pseudonyms that players could choose to adopt before venturing out into the Commonwealth, thanks to the latest Fallout 4 patch from Bethesda. The expansion of Codsworth’s speaking abilities comes as a shock to the community, which didn’t expect much more than bug fixes for the open-world FPS/RPG, and there are plenty of pop culture references being added alongside more typical names.
Here are some of our favorites:
Apollo
Arya
Biff
Cena
Joffrey
Phasma
Poe
Starbuck
And here are the patch notes for Fallout 4 Update 1.6, via Bethesda:
